The historical Nanyue State was a regime established in the Lingnan region at the end of the Qin Dynasty, with a total of five lords and 93 years of national ancestry.

The founding monarch Zhao Tuo was originally a Qin general.

At the end of Qin, when he took advantage of the death of Qin, the world was in turmoil, and he annexed Guilin County and Xiang County in Lingnan, built Nanyue Kingdom, and set the capital of Panyu.

In the eleventh year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Nanyue became a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, but it was repeated several times during the period, and he did not listen to the propaganda or the tune.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, Liu Che launched a war against South Vietnam, and in the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, more than ten years ago, South Vietnam was destroyed.

This is the context of history.

It is clear that the situation has changed now.

You must know that the Dayue clan was active in the north of Qilian Mountain in the early years, and was once on a par with the Xiongnu, and the soldiers were extremely prosperous.

The Han Dynasty and even the surrounding forces have an understanding of the national strength and strength of the Otsuki clan.

This time, Huo Qubing defeated the Dayue clan in one fell swoop, causing him to lose the country in a few days, and the news spread to deter the Quartet.

Those who feel inferior to the Dayue clan, who would dare to fight with Han?

South Vietnam was one of them, so they wrote a letter to ask for surrender again.

South Vietnam has been a vassal many times in the past, but it is the first time that the lord of the country has come to Chang'an to meet him, and the initiative of life and death has been handed over to the Han Dynasty.

So the emperor is happy.

Huo Qu's illness broke the Da Yue clan, and the associated changes were to make some surrounding countries dare not fight with the Han.

The territory of South Vietnam at its heyday, including most of the southern coast.

The greatest significance of the establishment of the Nanyue Kingdom is to allow Lingnan to enter the era of agricultural civilization from a clan society of hundreds of ethnic groups fighting and slash-and-burn farming, and to introduce foreign culture and maritime culture to Lingnan and even the Central Plains.

At the same time, the exchange between South Vietnam and the surrounding waters also laid the foundation for the formation of the Maritime Silk Road.

The surrender of South Vietnam was of great significance to the shipbuilding technology of the Han Dynasty, the opening of maritime trade, and the acquisition of coastal materials.

There is also a hidden upside.

Last time, Huo Qubing killed Zi, obtained part of his memory, and learned that Zhao Tuo was also one of the incarnations of Zi, and under his influence, he took the opportunity to kill Qin.

Since Zi had influenced and controlled Zhao Tuo, Huo Quzhi and Ru Bohu had speculated that the few remaining sinners in the vertical and horizontal road, the sword bearers and the soldiers in charge, might be in South Vietnam, at least related to South Vietnam.

South Vietnam is a minister, and the person who embroiders clothes can take advantage of the situation to find out clearly.

"Except for South Vietnam, what do you think of Kangjuguo's surrender, going to illness?" The emperor asked.

Huo Quzhi said: "If you want people to be respected, you need both grace and power, and you can't blindly suppress and kill." This is the truth that His Majesty told his ministers when he was seven years old. Regarding the surrender of Kangju, the minister also considered this matter.

Before coming back this time, he had summoned the lord of Kangju to come to Chang'an to meet His Majesty.

They left earlier than Chen, and it would probably take a few days to reach Chang'an. ”

The emperor snorted, and his joy grew.

What he is most happy about is that Huo Quzhi still remembers what he taught him when he was young, and knows that he thinks about the overall situation and shares his worries.

The artifact that the emperor threw over and gave Huo Qubing was a knife!

Before the Spring and Autumn Period, and even earlier, the ancestors began to cast swords.

This can be seen from the fact that there are knife coins in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But at that time, knives were generally small, and there were few long knives.

The sword has always been considered a gentleman's soldier, which is more in line with Han culture.

And before the Spring and Autumn Period, it has always been a way of war in which chariot battles are combined with foot battles, and swords are more useful.

The use of knives is limited and is not taken seriously.

It was not until the war situation changed and during the Qin and Han dynasties that cavalry warfare began to prevail, and the sword gradually became the most commonly used weapon for cavalry.

Huo Quzhi likes to use knives more than swords.

The momentum of opening and closing, looking at the direction, and urging the enemy by the wind is something that the sword does not have.

And this knife given by the emperor is a legendary weapon - Hongming Knife!

According to legend, the Minghong knife is the Xuanyuan sword of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in ancient times, when the raw materials are still left, due to the high temperature is not dispersed, or the liquid casting raw materials spontaneously flow to the bottom of the furnace, and they are knife-shaped after cooling.

Therefore, it has always been said that this knife is cast by heaven and earth, not a fake hand, but the ancestor of a hundred knives and the father of all knives.

The Yellow Emperor thought that the knife intent of the knife was too strong, and it would backfire the knife holder, fearing that the knife would fall into the world and kill all living beings, so he wanted to destroy it with the Xuanyuan sword, but the knife turned into a red lark in his hand, and the red light rushed into the sky, disappeared in the clouds, and was never seen again.

In terms of material and qualifications, the sword is comparable to the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword, the world's number one divine sword.

Later generations of "Cave Records" contained: "Emperor Wu unraveled Minghong's knife to give Dongfang Shuo, Shuo said: This knife Yellow Emperor picked the copper of the first mountain, the emperor was afraid that people would get this knife, and wanted to sell it, and the knife turned into a bird in his hand, and the red flew to the clouds. ”

In other words, this divine sword did fall into the hands of Emperor Wu in history.

After Emperor Wu got the sword, he regarded it as his favorite.

His favorite sword and sword, one of which is the Chixiao left by Emperor Gaozu, is the national sword of the Han Dynasty.

The knife is the Hongming knife.

Huo Quzhi knew that this knife was liked by the emperor, so he refused to accept it just now.

The emperor insisted on giving it, and he took it in his hand.

"The Yellow Emperor said that this knife devouring the master is not fake, this knife is extremely ferocious, and it will kill when it comes out of the body, otherwise it will absorb the blood of the master. You have to pay attention, especially at home, don't take it out to watch, Pingxian is pregnant with your heir, don't be shocked. ”

The emperor advised: "I have always suppressed the anger of this knife with the emperor's warmth, and I asked the Mo family to create a special scabbard, so be careful." ”

Huo Quzhi glanced at the Hongming knife in his hand.

This knife is embroidered clothes when the messenger went out to explore the sea, found that there is a lonely island, the vitality is exhausted, not an inch of grass grows, a killing intent actually makes the surrounding coastal miles there are no swimming fish, landing on the island to explore, there is a lot of damage, only to finally bring this knife back, become the emperor's collection.

Now that it is in his hands, it is a good killing weapon, like a tiger with wings.

The scabbard is black, made of the skin of a strange beast, and there is a bronze mantra on it that the Mo family sacrificed by the grout method, which is complex and exquisite.

The handle is also black, slightly wider than the palm, and the body is almost vertical, with a faint arc.

At the end of the grip, one on the left and one on the right, there are two gemstones, Xuanhuang and Purple, which are set on both sides of the tail of the grip like eyes, emitting a strange halo, as if they are looking at each other with Huo Quzhi.

This knife does have a fierce aura, faintly oozing out.

"You've just come back, let's go back to the house and rest first."

The emperor said, "Other matters will be discussed later." ”

Huo Qubing came out of the study, and Dong Zhongshu, Gongsun Hong and others went in.

When I left the palace, it was already evening.

The snow was falling heavily, and the sky was dark early.

Jin'an snorted, as if urging Huo Qu to board the train and go home.

This thing thinks of his little red horse and the delicious forage in the house.

Huo Quzhi turned his head to look back at Weiyang Palace.

The pillar of national fortune of the Han Dynasty is strong in purple, covering the sky and the sun.

In the eyes of cultivators, today's Chang'an is like an ocean of national fortunes, and the tide is pervasive and unfathomable.

Good weather, Your Majesty's perception of the country's fortune is the most intuitive, this time to break the Dayue Clan and other countries, Your Majesty is afraid that you have gained a lot of benefits......

Huo Quzhi withdrew his gaze from Weiyang Palace, thinking in his heart.

When he saw the emperor this time, he could clearly feel the emperor's power, and his qi was thicker and more majestic than before.

"Master Hou, let's go home?"

"Hmm."

The champion Hou Mansion is on the lights.

The car drove back, close to the Hou Mansion, and Huo Qu found that inside and outside the mansion, the guards were far stricter than before.

On the streets outside the house, there were many forbidden troops, and when they saw his car, they all raised their war guns and saluted silently.

Huo Quzhi asked the accompanying subordinates outside the car: "Why is the guard in the house so tight?" ”

The accompanying forbidden army replied: "Your Majesty has told the world about the process of the Hou Ye's conquest of foreign tribes.

The people of Chang'an are grateful for the divine power of Hou Ye, and they all say that Hou Ye is the martial arts star in the sky, so he can protect the Han Dynasty, win all battles, and get rid of evil spirits. Every day, people come to gather outside the Hou Mansion to watch, and some people send things to the Hou Ye, chickens and ducks, mountain goods, fruits and vegetables, everything.

There are also cultivators who try to push letterheads to the Hou Ye's mansion to recommend themselves.

The princess said that since she was a person who revered the marquis, she didn't need to drive it away. However, His Majesty personally issued an order to increase the garrison of the forbidden army, so as not to have unscrupulous people take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to storm the palace. ”

In a moment, the car stopped at the gate of the house.

Huo Quzhi got out of the car and entered the house.

"Hou Ye Wan'an!"

There are people in the house who have been waiting for a long time and bowed down to say hello.

Standing in front of him was Zhuo Qingke, as well as Bai Nanyu, who was sick first and returned to the house after entering the city.

The two girls have delicate faces, long satin-like shiny hair, soft and graceful posture, beautiful eyebrows and red lips, straight noses, and red jade hairpins inserted in their black hair.

Bai Nanyu wears an apricot long skirt, which is very charming.

Zhuo Qingke wore a light rouge skirt, and the cuffs at the corners of the skirt revealed creamy and jade-like skin.

Zhuo Qingke, who is getting older, slowly shows an extraordinary charm, like a ripe peach waiting to be picked.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to wait here for the Hou Ye." Zhuo Qingke whispered softly and pursed her lips slightly.

Huo Qu was sick and worried that Liu Qing would not come, what was the intention of letting Zhuo Qingke wait here?

He walked towards the deep house.

When they arrived at the back house, outside the door of the dormitory, the attendants of the four princesses greeted each other.

"The princess is in the room."

"Yes, His Royal Highness knew that Hou Ye was back, and he started waiting three or four days ago, and there were many arrangements, but he didn't let us tell Hou Ye." Liu Qing's attendant whispered, and pushed the door open.

The snow is cold in winter, but the interior is warm like spring.

The lamp is burning in the hall, and the lampshade is a rouge tulle, and the light is soft, revealing a hint of beauty.

The hall was quiet, and there was no one in the dormitory and the outer hall.

Huo Qubing walked along the corridor of the inner hall of the dormitory to the apse.

In the warm pool of the apse, the heat is thick, a mermaid lingers and swims in the water, the posture is looming, the country is fragrant, and the enchanting is unparalleled.

Soon, Huo Quzhi also joined in.

Goodbye reunion, new tricks.

Huo Qubing turned into a guard with a stick to protect Her Royal Highness the princess.

The tides rise and fall in the pool......

The night is like frost.

The dormitory, the clouds disappear and the rain rests.

Her Royal Highness the princess said very comfortably and formally: "Husband, you can take a concubine." ”

"Huh?"

Liu Qing's eyes under his thick eyelashes flashed, and he was a little shy: "Fujun's cultivation is advancing day by day, and now he is fighting a hundred battles in the sixth order, and his physical strength is also different from before, and he has increased ......."

Huo Qu was sick and happy.

Her Royal Highness the princess meant it obviously.

Even if she has the physique of a phoenix returning to the nest, she is not the opponent of the Hundred Battles General.

"I also want to have more time to practice, otherwise the gap with my husband will be getting farther and farther away, and I am pregnant, I am afraid of moving the fetus, and I can't bear to let my husband come back from the expedition to sleep alone...... I've been thinking about it for a while, and I've talked to Zhuo Qingke. Liu Qing adjusted his comfortable posture and said.

"Zhuo Qingke?"

Of course, Liu Qingqing said: "Otherwise, the husband and the concubine, Zhuo Qingke can, but that fox can't." ”

"Zhuo Qingke responded?"

"She loves her husband, will her husband know? She is a girl's family, she has lost her father and brother, no matter how outsiders guess, she also wants to live in our Hou Mansion, isn't the meaning obvious? If she remarries someone else, she will lose her reputation, and she will not think that a good family wants her. ”

Liu Qing agreed, and Huo Quzhi had nothing to be pretentious about.

He doesn't have much affection for Zhuo Qingke, but it doesn't hinder him, he marries and communicates slowly, and the more he communicates, the better.

"Then choose a date, tell Zhuo's family, and officially welcome her into the house."

In this era, the position of the concubine was very low, and it was considered to be a pass by arranging a car to be taken to the house.

Those who are more particular will notify their relatives and friends and officially marry.

Huo Quzhi pondered that there should always be a ceremony, after all, this is the only time in a woman's life.

"If you can't wait, you can go to the small courtyard over there first, I guess Zhuo Qingke will definitely not refuse."

Liu Qingyi pointed out: "That fox girl seems to be there with Zhuo Qingke, don't make a mistake, husband." ”

Although he agreed to take a concubine, he was a little uncomfortable in his heart, and Her Royal Highness the princess said this with a gun and a stick.

Huo Quzhi turned over: "Sleep and sleep, fight for many days, and I am a little tired." ”

The next afternoon, the snow stopped.

Huo Qubing came to the military mansion on the outskirts of the city, found Ji Qiu, the ink man, and asked, "Is there any progress?" ”

Ji Qiu said happily: "I'm waiting for Master Hou to come over, not only has there been progress, but it is still a lot of progress!" ”
